Merry Christmas!<br><br>Mark Shuttleworth has an interesting take on community approach to commercial training materials: <a href="http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/134">http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/134</a>
<br><br>It's an interesting approach to how to meet the need for a huge investment in training materials. Drupal documentation currently has 2400 book pages of CC licensed content. Steven Peck has already aggregated and distributed a "Getting started" book using some of this material.
<br><br>Djun Kim has explained on the documentation list how we could extract content from the handbooks into an open format for book publishing.<br><br>If you read into the comments, you'll see that Mark is explicitly targeting the LPI certifications. We learned earlier in this thread those costs were about 400K. I think collaboration with the documentation team and use of open standards and open licenses is an exciting model for training more people to use Drupal.
